[nztechblog.net] “Daniel Boone” Green Mountain Grill with WiFi

It’s not Summer in NZ at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a BBQ in winter! By dodging dodgy weather in Auckland, I managed to use the “Daniel Boone” Green Mountain BBQ Grill a few times to bring you this review! The best thing about this BBQ is that I can remotely see and set on my smartphone what the temperature inside the grill is, and can also turn the grill on and off straight from the app, thanks to its WiFi capability! This BBQ Grill is powered by electricity and wood pellets and while you may think that by using electricity it will bump up your electricity bill, I can tell you it doesn’t!

The “Daniel Boone” BBQ Model comes with a digital control, a meat probe, a peaked lid for stand-up chicken / large fowl / rib racks, a convenience tray with utensil hooks, hard rubber tires and a venturi-style firebox for cyclone combustion.

I believe the little Green Mountain Davy Crockett is the best portable pellet smoker currently on the market. Surprisingly, many of the portables out there still have an antiquated LMH controller, while Davy Crockett employs Green Mountain’s advanced digital touch-pad controller, with an integrated meat thermometer that lets you check internal meat temp with the flick of a switch. Furthermore, it includes adapters to run the electronics from your car battery or cigarette lighter. And Green Mountain is aggressively—ahem, hello price cut—promoting its WiFi capabilities, which enable you to monitor Davy Crockett from your smartphone or laptop.
